Review
Ellensburg's Star Anna debuted last year with
Crooked Path, a promising album of rootsy alt-country, and while the roots influence is still there on her 2nd album, Star and her band have cranked up the electricity, giving her emotionally scarred songs an additional rock n roll punch. Her throaty, aching vocals sound better than ever, and the band earns their co-billing with tight, tough-sounding accompaniment.
Crooked Path was a great beginning, but this one packs a mightier wallop. --Don Yates, KEXP-FM
Product Description
Star Anna's sophomore release,
The Only Thing That Matters, is a large step from her debut album,
Crooked Path. The band dynamics come out to match her powerful, more mature vocals. The songs weave a story of loss, heartbreak, and sorrow but also have moments of light, hope, and redemption. This album moves into the realm of rock and roll without leaving its Americana roots behind.
